Studies

I really appreciate the creator. After some problems, everything is in order now. I shake his hand. Thank you for giving me all your time. He's a great guy. I'm starting to appreciate the potential of his software. Thanks again.

Studies 1.7.1 I am testing the potential of your application, and I am experiencing the very consistent problem of Font Size and Alignment, which works randomly. It is really buggy like hell! I confirm! It takes me 72 seconds to open a group of Stack!

Unfortunately, buggy like hell! ≥__≤

Extremely pleased that I chose Studies. Reasons include: User support so far excellent (though very little has been needed) Powerful User friendly Interacts happily with Excel, a really big deal, imo Unlimited "facets" - basically, these are fields or columns in Excel lingo (build in Excel, upload to Studies, bring all fields in) Import online Quizlet files No need to "master" Studies as one must master certain other powerful "flashcard" apps - developers put the user first. By itself, Studies is powerful; used in connection with Excel, one can do, and do simply, about anything.

Better than Anki

To learn using flashcards was quite a simple and far-from-exciting experience for me. Not more. Mental Case impressed me since the very first time I ran it. This app put the flashcards in a whole new level. It combines a beautiful, well-polished interface with a number of excellent features. Firstly, you do not need to leave Mental Case to download card sets (stacks) from the thousands available for free on Quizlet and FlashcardExpress. Stacks can be grouped in cases and freely ordered. In second place, you are not limited to the traditional two-sided cards. Mental Case 2.x can create and handle cards with multiple facets, a convenient resource to complex matters. Card editing allow user to change fonts and colors, insert images and audio and even apply stack-wide format using templates. For each stack you can define a number of controls regarding the way Mental Case will exhibit the cards. A very nice feature is the Learning Schedule option, what lets user to choose between five patterns. Mental Case will keep track of your studies and can handle the card exhibition considering a target deadline or a spaced repetition (the "long-term learning", based on an algorithm). The cards you gave wrong answers or did mark with "wrong" will be showed again after a while until you get it correctly. As small pluses Mental Case groups the recently studied and added cards, the recent wrong answers, the cards not linked to any stack or the ones due to study. Although expensive for a flashcard tool, Mental Case offers much more than any other app I tried. It can be improved in some points, as quicker card edition or more controls when searching though the stacks available on the web. Anyway, the app is quite impressive right now and a real pleasure to use.

Slow approval and too tight control by Apple on Mac App Store resulted in very slow update of software to correct bugs and add featurees. This will definitely shy away develiopers from Mac App Store, apart from hefty 30 % margin charged by Apple This is the beginning of the end of Mac App Store

Where is version 2.3.1 update from Mac App Store? The version on Mac App Store is still 2.3 When can I expect the update

On sale right now on the app store for $9.99!! Great Deal and a Great App

what is sandboxing?

Note that a 14-day trial is available from the developer's site. Very good of the developer to offer this.

Great, just great. Just to offset Genghisdons' review I'll give it all fives. More realistic ratings would be: Overall: 4.5 Features: 4 Ease of Use: 4 Value: 5 Stability: 4.5

I've been using Mental Case as a study aid for several years. The feature set has almost everything I could use for flashcards. The exceptions are multiple choice answers and 2+ card sides. According to the developer, those features will both be included in the 2.0 update. The sync option works well with the iPad & iTouch, and the ability to create cards on the go in the mobile apps adds even more value to them. Highly recommended.

Terrible. Just terrible.

Beautiful and very useful app! Highly recommended!

Version 1.7 is an intermediate update to Mental Case, and includes support for audio: Redesigned note editing pane to support audio. Extra column available for notes table which indicates whether audio is present. Import of audio files for the prompt and/or content sides of notes. Record audio directly from the system default microphone. Added a button to repeat sounds in a slideshow. Import and export audio to/from Mental Case Archive and Study Archive files. Sync audio with Mental Case for iPhone version 2.4 and later.

Just love this app. I really want to get the companion iPhone application (not the lite version), but I just cannot get myself to spend $8 on it. Waiting for it to come back down one more time to $4.99 (developer, I hope you are reading :-) Mind you, I'm not saying that it is not worth what you are asking, just that I have this $5 barrier for iPhone apps.
